Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Vehicle Regulations, this machinery is considered a towed special agricultural vehicle. The key factor is that, since it lacks an engine to move on its own, it cannot be classified as self-propelled (as a tractor or an autonomous combine harvester would be). Its function is to perform agricultural work while being towed by a tractor, tiller, or carrier. It is distinguished from a pure trailer in that the machine is primarily designed to perform a specific task (plowing, sowing, harvesting), and not solely to transport cargo.
